Nev. Admin. Code § 240A.Sec. 14 - NEW
1. If a party fails to appear at a hearing
and a continuance has not been requested or granted, upon an offer of proof by
the other party that the absent party was given proper notice and upon a
determination by the hearing officer that proper notice was given, the hearing
officer may proceed to consider the case without the participation of the
absent party and may dispose of the matter on the basis of the evidence before
the hearing officer. If the respondent fails to appear at the hearing or fails
to submit an answer to the notice, the charges specified in the complaint may
be considered as true.
2. Where,
because of accident, sickness or other reasonable cause, a party fails to
appear for a hearing or fails to request a continuance, the party may, within a
reasonable period of time, not to exceed 15 days, apply to the hearing officer
to reopen the proceedings, and the hearing officer, upon finding such cause
sufficient and reasonable, will immediately fix a time and place for a hearing
and give the parties notice of the hearing. At the time and place fixed, a
hearing must be held at which the party may testify in his or her own behalf or
present such other evidence as may be beneficial to his or her cause. Witnesses
who have previously testified are not required to appear at the second hearing
unless so directed by the hearing officer.
